New edition (1951).Photostat of letter attached to verso indicating source for map data (dated June 22, 1953). ["The American Federation of Labor (AFL) prepared an elaborately detailed map (Gulag--Slavery, Inc.) ... that gave the location of Russian forced labor colonies and concentration camps. It was part of an effort to create a message that would effectively disseminate the impact of the Russian slave-labor system to larger audiences in a smaller format than either a pamphlet or a book ... Also in the map were pictures of an emaciated child wearing a crucifix, victim of the Gulag system, and photostatic copies of Gulag "passports" (release certificates) ... The Gulag map became one of the most widely circulated pieces of anti-Communist literature."]--Historical dictionary of American propaganda / Martin Manning, with the assistance of Herbert Romerstein.
